Meeting Program
Judge Nick Chu will be our guest speaker. Judge Chu will talk to us about Travis County’s new possession of marijuana pre-court diversion program. Under this new program, anyone who was cited for possession of marijuana has the opportunity to have the case dismissed prior to charges being filed if they take an educational course. Judge Chu runs this program out of Justice of the Peace, Pct. 5.

CAPD Business
In additional to other items on the agenda, we will discuss the process for electing new CAPD officers. Our first step is to establish a Nominations Committee to start putting together a list of officers for the June or July meeting. We will take volunteers for the Nominations Committee at the meeting.

Special Message
January was the worst month in the history of our club; we’re all grieving and in shock. There aren’t words to express the depth of pain in losing Eva. And none of us can fathom Ken’s pain and emotional hurt. Collectively our hearts ache.

At our Tuesday meeting we will discuss how CAPD will honor and recognize Eva Gonzales and how we will support Ken Craig in his time of great need.

Meeting Program
We will be joined by a representative from the Beto O’Rourke for U.S. Senate Campaign to update us on how the campaign is going and what we can do to help Beto defeat Ted Cruz. There will also be Beto merchandise available for a small donation.

CAPD Business
We will be discussing our campaign plan to support our CAPD endorsed 2018 Democratic Primary candidates.
